I am a filmmaker, tech nerd, and co-founder of Waffle Video. My company provides high-quality, human-shot videos specifically for fine-tuning AI tools across various fields, from media to robotics to medicine. Our growing global network of 1,000+ creators produces brand-new, on-demand footage - each clip is labeled with highly specific metadata and designed exclusively for AI training. All videos are ethically sourced, legally cleared, and our creators are paid every time their footage is licensed - eliminating the legal and ethical concerns around scraped, legacy, or synthetic content. I was fortunate to gain recognition on the festival circuit as the writer, director, star, and editor of a microbudget horror-comedy feature, so I am now developing an upcoming horror feature with a notable executive producer and sales company attached. With a Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Florida, specializing in Machine Learning, plus bachelor's degrees in Statistics and Theatre from Florida State University, I bridge the gap between art and tech. I believe the future of AI should empower creatives rather than replace them, driving Waffle Video's mission to create a fair and innovative marketplace where creatives can thrive in the evolving technological landscape.
